He did make his shots that he took and was a very good passer. He was a better rebounder than Carver. His biggest issue was his turned the ball over way too much. I think Carver is a better defender though.

I think he's a bit more nimble or a bit faster than Taylor was. I don't remember Taylor ever even attempted to drive at the rim like Carver has flashed a couple of times.

Do remember that Carver is only a Junior right now. Still has time to add things to his game. He doesn't need to be a star, just a blue collar player. I think he needs to put a ton of time into making putback shots, weird opportunistic dunks, and short bunny hop shots. Doesn't need to bring more offense than that for the role that he plays.
